OF the ducking club houses have opened for the
season, but both swan and ducks are very
scarce. There are few geese on the bars. but
the natives are catching them In steel traps.
The shooters increase here every year at q
ratio OF twenty per cent, and in consequence
the wild fowl arc growing rapidly less. From
the present prospect Currituck Sound will soon
be added to those places where good shooting

does not profess to know half as much about
trap shooting as many Of his insignificant

took him to gain his facility as marksman.

four years. With us. In our line OF work. 1t is

It cost the state of Minnesota S312..
80 to publish in Rock county the gen
eral laws passed by the late legislature.
-Luverne Herald.
And it cost $4S7 20 to publish the
laws in Mobiles county. 1t is a good
thing for the printers, but as the AD-
VANCE urged in a number of articles
and paragraphs while the legislaturewas
in session, it is an unjust and unequal
system of publishing the laws. Thus q
paper which had been running only
three months and had a circulation of
say 100, received under this system as
much as. an old established paper
which had been running say Is to 20
years and had a bona fde circulation
of say 1000 to 5000.
The way the laws are now published
the large share of the money goes to
adventurers and "starters,'' to the in
jury OF legitimate newspaper men and
newspapers. 1t is a gratuity to the
very class who ought not to have it.
II every little village paper and every
mere experimental newspaper is to
publish the laws. the pay ought to be
IN proportion to the circulation and
age OF the paper.
We are pleased, however, to note
that the Legislature acted upon one
matter of Importance TO- legitimate
publishers. The law fixing the lepa,
age of newspapers was changed from
three months to one year, 80 shat here
after a paper must be published one
year before it can publish legal matter.
